When a guest registers or a user signs in, ClearPass sends the code by SMS through SMSEagle, your own hardware SMS gateway. The request stays in your local network and never goes through a cloud SMS provider.
ClearPass’s SMS Gateway page normally points at a cloud SMS handler. Set its Custom HTTP Handler to point at SMSEagle instead: the request stays on your local network and the message is sent from your own device over the cellular network.
Cloud SMS gateways need outbound internet access from your ClearPass deployment. SMSEagle sends messages on-premises over its own cellular connection, delivering guest and authentication SMS even in fully offline installations.
Cloud SMS delivery is billed per message, which adds up fast for guest portal traffic. SMSEagle sends over a standard SIM at local carrier rates – no per-message fees, no external contract.
A guest registers or a user authenticates through ClearPass, triggering an SMS notification.
ClearPass’s Custom HTTP Handler calls SMSEagle’s HTTP API, authenticated with HTTP Basic Authentication.
SMSEagle delivers the code over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the recipient’s phone.
Paste the service URL in ClearPass, set Basic Authentication, and guest and login codes are sent by SMS.
An SMS code needs no app: guests and users receive it on any mobile phone.
SMSEagle records every code it sends, together with its status, so you can check whether a guest received it.
Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending codes.
